I know people hate Raw Story, but I hit a paywall when trying to access the Times of London, so this will have to do. It's so rich, so delusional, that I just had to share. Hey, Biff--can convicted felons run for president?NOOR AL-SIBAI

Donald Trump Jr. is said to be eyeing a 2024 presidential run in an attempt to create a family dynasty in the White House.
In an interview with the Times of London, Eric Trump said that although he has no political ambitions himself, he believes his older brother does.
When asked if there could be a Trump family dynasty, Eric replied, Oh sure.
In 2018, The Guardian reported that Trump Jr. had not only become a skilled fundraiser for his fathers reelection campaign he also has been regularly called upon by supporters to run for president himself.
Away from the firestorm that is the ongoing Robert Mueller Russia investigation, the presidents eldest son is building a considerable conservative fanbase, The Guardians David Taylor reported. This constituency sees him as an authentic figure with a political future.
From the Republican party standpoint, he very much is the guy, Republican strategist and former congressional chief of staff Boyd Matheson told the newspaper. He can be the face, he can go out with the hunters.

Ivanka has her head in the clouds, but I think Daddy knows he's in trouble, which means he probably has to work fast if he wants to bring down democracies worldwide and usher in a new era fascism.

I go to Raw Story. The only complaint I have about it is that it doesn't go into a lot of depth. It is on the ball for LBN and pretty much stays progressive.

Fortunately the demographic shifts will be further mature and should prevent more atrocities like any Trumo

Besides, I don't think you can run for office while incarcerated.

(118,309 posts)of his daddy, George H W? What great days those were! We had the same great American leaders back in the White House once again! Today, it is sad to think that our great President Trump might some day leave office. But there is hope! We could again enjoy the thrill of his great administration by electing Donald Jr! We could bring back Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Sebastian Gorka, John Kelly, Tom Price, Reince Priebus, Anthony Scaramucci, Jeff Sessions, Sean Spicer, and hundreds of your other favorites! Call now! Operators are standing by!"

I am in some kind of warped reality. Will no one wake me? If I have to hear that fucking creepy accent of Sebastian Gorka anymore, I swear to God, I am gonna lose my shit.

(18,128 posts)It may even evolve to become a political party that would exist in addition to the Republican party.
I don't believe this movement will be in power, but just because Trump loses reelection in 2020 doesn't mean this movement is going to suddenly disappear. There is enough hate in this country (and around the world) to sustain their visibility. They've been hiding under the surface for years, but Trump unleashed them and made it okay for them to slither out from under their rocks. Trump would be the obvious face for the group, but I could see Jr. taking over at some point.
I don't believe Ivanka is loony enough to be a prominent part of this movement. They might let her in because of her name, but she'll have to learn to vocalize racism and bigotry.
